    why
  • Slater will be gone by January due to the fall out with TJ and Cash. There are people trying to put togethor a consortium to buy out TJ, however he will play hard ball. Elliot would be part of the TJ set up.A slick and proffesional team with well recognised faces. 2013 could be interesting.

    Sean Connery?

  • Could be interesting, Niall Quinn at Sunderland was similar, a footballer chairman appointed for his footballing knowledge, contacts, PR etc

    You have to be rich to be a chairman it seems from reading this.

    strange move but unless he has oodles of dough and is bailing us out, which I doubt, it does beg the questions why? and by whom?

    I'm not surprised Slater is taking a step back for a number of reasons. I doubt Elliott would come in just to be somebody's stooge, he ain't a fool. I can also see no reason why Paul cannot continue with his other work either. Chairman of a football club is not as time consuming as being its Chief Exec ;-)

    How many 'charlton men' do you think want the position?

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. As Mark Twain said "It is best to keep your mouth shut and be presumed ignorant than to open it and remove all doubt". Suggest you go and do some research.

    Elliot is intelligent, eloquent, knowledgable about football, well connected, well liked and an old Charlton boy (sounds very much like Chris Powell doesn't it). Could well be a good move for us. Good luck to him if it's true, good luck to him if it ain't.
  • A chairman is a figurehead, the face of the board of directors without necessarily being a major investor. So it's a perfect position for someone eloquent, presentable and personable and from what I have gathered, Paul Eliot fits the bill (though I haven't seen or heard anything from him in years; he doesn't make Asian TV unlike many other ex-Charlton players and managers).

  • So much for the five year plan.
  • Slater will be gone by January due to the fall out with TJ and Cash. There are people trying to put togethor a consortium to buy out TJ, however he will play hard ball. Elliot would be part of the TJ set up.A slick and proffesional team with well recognised faces. 2013 could be interesting.

    A chairman that knows his football - Powell could work well with him - seems like a positive to me.

    Its a real shame that Mirror article doesn't mention the fact Paul Elliots black, and more so the fact that he could be the first ever black chairman.

    I think it is great that it doesn't. His colour shouldn't be a factor.

    It's to prepare for the new owners , THE NIGERIAN CHIEF IS BACK!!!!!!
  • great news if true Paul is a gent, why does the chairman have to be the money man he isn't at a lot of clubs, Gartside hasn't bank rolled Bolton,Niall Quinn didn't bank roll Sunderland. I would have thought Paul would tick a lot of boxes for potential investors in the club, but heyho keep knocking everything that happens at Charlton at the moment.
